At least balancing is ok but...what do you thing about this?My suzuki dealership won't see me again in its workshop.Each time I went to "axe motos"for service stuff it's always bad work.After an e.mail to complain I got a phone call from the manager and he tried to explain that it was normal.No it's not.They lost a customer who bought 3 bikes for 10 years and that's all.

Some tires require that much, like mentioned above I usually rotate the tire on the rim and try again if so. I know for a fact that black wheel weights with rounded corners are available as I have several strips of them.

Whoa, I never use that much weight. Here's how I do it. I take the bare rim and check the balance on it, then mark the heaviest spot with a grease marker. Then mount the tire with the red dot at my mark. I tape on the weights first. If they seem excessive I will rotate the tire on the rim 90° and try it again. Never the less, I've never seen a tire and rim take that much weight. The front tire on my old GPZ never required any weight. The rear never required more than 1 ounce.

My grom uses that much weight, sometimes on each wheel. It varies with the tire so I know the major problem is the tires, not the wheel. I continue to use the Mitas tires because they win. I would not be happy with that balance job. Rotate the tire and if that does not help, temporarily tape the weights and then solid pieces applied.

I will do it later.For now I had some problems with my father's health(85 Y.O)and he is coming out from the hospital this morning.He got a stroke 2 weeks ago but he's fine now.
